Yeah, the client wanted to test it, so she use George Clooney. The email address was george(at)yahoo(dot)com!
I doubt that’s Mr Clooney’s email address. 
There is absolutely no way that you can possibly tell whether an email address is valid beyond checking to see if the domain name exists. And I don’t have to even have the same name as someone else in order to use that in an email address. If I wanted to I could set up georgeclooney (at) any of my own domains. I bet that name’s long gone at gmail, and I bet it isn’t used by ‘the’ George Clooney. Quite likely not even by someone called George.
(I realised the other day that if I changed my name to “Keith President” and someone wanted to address me formally they’d have to say “Mr. President”. I like that…
